Having issues connecting to certain API websites when the link contains special characters, specifically %. The API link works perfectly for all the other links but fails for the 2 that have the % in it. The thing is that the links work perfectly when I view them in my browser.
The link is http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.....ill-the-fight-end%3f.xml
The failing bit is the end "%3f".
Here is the 403 error:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>403 Forbidden</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Forbidden</h1>
<p>You don't have permission to access /
on this server.<br />
</p>
</body></html>
Any ideas how to fix this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
A very quick guess but have you unticked the encode url box:
The box is ticked. Still doesn't work.
It needs to be unticked
Otherwise the URL you showed will be double encoded
